Ingredients
- 1 package 14.3 oz Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 lb white chocolate or candy melts melted
- Orange food coloring optional, for a pumpkin look
- Green candy or icing optional, for pumpkin stems
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Form the Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Chill: Place the tray of Oreo balls in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. If desired, add orange food coloring to the melted chocolate.
- Coat the Balls: Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate: If creating a pumpkin look, use green candy or icing to add a “stem” to the top of each ball while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set and Serve: Let the coated Oreo balls sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
